[edit] Citations

"Monfils considers Arthur Ashe to be his favorite player. He is fond of listening to music, particularly R&B. If he did not play tennis, he would play basketball. He is a huge fan of NBA team Detroit Pistons and his favorite basketball player is Carmelo Anthony. His best friends are countrymen and former juniors Josselin Ouanna, Paterne Mamata and fellow pro Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga."

None of this is cited. It needs to be cited because there's a lot of people he seems to like and where does it say he likes them all?

"Monfils defeated Blake in another 5 set match. Monfils described this run as 'a marathon'. Blake said of Monfils that 'he was the fastest man on the tour'."

With direct quotes, it is definitely needed to show where he said this.Yialanliu (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Is the pronunciation note at the head of the article really correct? Based on my limited knowledge of French, I would have thought it would be closer to Ga-EHL Moh-FEECE. Can a native speaker clarify? 128.250.252.205 01:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the picture

Umm... can we change the picture? I like that the picture shows the passion and force in hitting the ball, but
1. Monfils' face looks like he is pissed off or about to cry, and
2. his left arm looks jagged and abnormal. Perhaps another angle? ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline

Can someone who knows well how to do these things make a timeline table for Monfils showing the different tournaments and his progress? As many other tennis players on wikipedia have also. He's been pro about 4 years now - but every tennis player should have the timeline table
